Are you looking for a way to comfortably straighten misaligned teeth? ClearCorrect is an alternative to traditional braces that uses clear aligners to straighten teeth. As a cosmetic dental treatment, ClearCorrect not only improves the appearance of the smile but patients’ oral health. ClearCorrect is often a solution for teens and adults with moderate orthodontic concerns, cosmetic concerns related to crooked teeth, and orthodontic relapse. It is never too late to benefit from a smile that is straighter and healthier!
It can often be difficult for patients to clean between crooked teeth, which means they are at risk of developing tooth decay or gum disease. Crooked teeth also create an uneven bite which places pressure on the jaw joints. As a result, some patients with a misaligned smile may develop bite problems and jaw pain. Dr. Daniela Lemoine offers ClearCorrect at Sea of Pearls Dental Boutique in East Cobb, GA.
ClearCorrect® Treatment in East Cobb, GA
Before treatment, Dr. Lemoine takes detailed digital scans of the smile. These scans create a three-dimensional image of the teeth which are integral to planning ClearCorrect treatment. Dr. Lemoine sends these dental scans to a lab that creates a series of aligners. Once the aligners are complete, Dr. Lemoine ensures that the first pair fits properly. Each pair of ClearCorrect aligners is different. Patients will switch out their aligners every two weeks. Their teeth will be repositioned gradually over multiple months.
ClearCorrect® FAQs
Do you want to know more about ClearCorrect? Here are answers to popular questions many patients have about ClearCorrect:
How long is ClearCorrect Treatment?
Because every patient has different orthodontic needs, their treatment time will depend on their malocclusion, or uneven bite, as well as how they care for their aligners. However, the average ClearCorrect treatment time is six to eighteen months. Patients who choose metal braces may have more severe orthodontic issues and will require a longer treatment time.
What Are The Advantages of ClearCorrect Treatment Over Traditional Braces?
ClearCorrect treatment uses clear aligners that are discreet and easily blend in with the smile. These aligners can be removed for patients to eat or brush and floss their teeth. Traditional braces use metal wires and brackets to realign teeth. Patients will need their brackets tightened and will also require new wires over the span of their treatment. New wires can irritate and poke sensitive gum tissue. Patients will also need to carefully brush and floss between their braces and make sure they don’t damage the wires or brackets. Braces also come with dietary restrictions. ClearCorrect aligners are removable, so patients do not have restrictions.
Do I Sleep With The ClearCorrect Aligners in My Mouth?
Patients should wear their aligners for 22 hours a day and only remove them to clean their teeth or eat. Because of this, patients will wear their ClearCorrect aligners when sleeping. Wearing the aligners for the appropriate amount of time each day keeps patients on track and can even shorten their treatment time.
